The person I have chosen to depict is my best friend, Kothar. She is a goofy, fun and strong-willed person who I know I couldn’t live without. In the portrait I have drawn her making a face to express her quirky personality and the way she always manages to cheer me up. Kothar has taught me to be confident in what I do and not care what anyone thinks. I am grateful to have her in my life.
